Getting into office, !however. they soon found that the banks could not afford to be "easy‘" and that every factor forced council to use commonsense rather than "easiness." None ¢f the North Bay ccuncil were in favour of needlessly interfering with those ungble to pay, but neither are tA other councils hardâ€"hearted or mean, As a rule. It is simply a fact that hard business requires the collection of taxes in the general interests North Bay aldermen promise themselves that no unnecessary hardship will be placed on anyone. Similar idea has been held by other councils Other councils, however have been blamed for harshâ€" ness, when nothing like that was inâ€" tended. However, unless a municipalâ€" ity wants to occupy the position of places like Ansonville and Cobalt where mayv be closed for lYack of North Bay, like every other city and large town, is finding that in the interâ€" ests of the municipality and in fairâ€" ness to all concerned, taxes in arrears must be collected. A drastic resolution was passed at the North Bay city counâ€" cil last week. This resolution read as follows:â€"*"The finance commiittee ‘be empowered from this date until such date as power is rescinded by council to take such steps and direct such steps to be taken as necessary, whether by distress, garnishee proceedings or straight suit ‘proceedings followed by execution or judgment summons to colâ€" lect all outstanding taxes for the city of North ~Bay. And further, the tax collector be notified that from and after passage of this motion, he is requested to carry out such recommendations as may be made by the chairman of finâ€" ance as spokesman for the finance committee, as is requested ‘by said comâ€" mittee. And further, that the city soliâ€" citor be notified that he is to carry out with all due despatch all instructions given to him by the tax collector‘and finance committee through its spokesâ€" man the chairman, and the chairman of the finance committee is herety emâ€" powered to instruct the city solicitor from time to time as and when requirâ€" ed as to what method to be adopted to bring any action for collection of taxes to a successful conclusion."

The Timmins curlers were successful in their quest for the trophy, and thsy were also more than successful in having a very pleasant time. The hospitality of the Kirkland Lake curlers was the very finest. President P. J. Burns, of the Kirkland Lake Curling Club and the other officers and members certainly won golden words for thse kind hosâ€" pitality shown them.

JOE CHIRCOSKI NEW COACH FOR NORANDA HOCKEY TEAM been engaged to coach the Noranda Copper Kings, and commenced his new duties last week. He was for some years a wellâ€"known and effective hocâ€" key player himself and should prove good man for the Noranda team. Maeyor of North Bay Vetoes Outlay for Buying Truck On the contention that the proposa) constituted a capital expenditure Mayor Bullbrook practically vetoed a recomâ€" mendation from the North Bay board of works calling for the purchase of a heavyâ€"duty motor truck to replace an mendation from the North Bay board of works calling for the purchase of a heavyâ€"duty motor truck to replace an old vehicle. In exercising this authoriâ€" ty the mayor held that council could not consider the expenditure unless the sctual cost was given and was accomâ€" panied by the authorization of the proâ€" per officers The mayor and aldermen of North Bay argued over the rules veto the not overthrown and the purchase the truck was deferred.

Chircoski of , but in "For many years now I have been making periodic surveys in person from coast to coast and I can say with all confidence that not since the preâ€"deâ€" pression days has such a high spirit of optimism been noticeable throughout the Dominion, and such tangible reaâ€" sons for this optimism as those which I encountered on my recent trip. Bradford Ellison is a wellâ€"known figâ€" ure in the Canadian fcood industry and in business circles throughout Canada. To his sales and executive @wbility are due largely the growth and expansion of Nestles of Canada, and through his contacts with public and tradeâ€"through his daily association with domestic and foreign businessâ€"his viewpoint is usâ€" ually broad and comprehensive in scope. Improving Business Seen by Big Concern "Business conditions are such toâ€" day," said Mr. Ellison, "that Nestles are definitely committed to an increase of 100 p.c. in advertising expenditure over that of 1933. This evidence of faith in Canada‘s comeâ€"back is a logical move in Nestles history. For years we have been consistent users of the newspapers â€"in good times and bad. We have alâ€" ways relied on this medium for our main sales results, believing that the newspaper, with its infiuence on home life and its powerful and enduring hold on the consideration of readers is the ideal advertising medium for a houseâ€" hold product like Nestles Milk. Thus, at a time like this when Canada is apâ€" parently on the road to recovery, we find it easy to justify even a 100 p.c. increase in advertising. Definitely associating himself with the tide of optimism now rising in Canada, Bradford Ellison, viceâ€"presiâ€" dent and general manager of Nestles of Canada, some days ago issued a stateâ€" ment on Nestles sales plans for the months ahead. © The North Bay Nugget last week says "Ill only 24 hours, Mrs. Leon Larrivee, Capreol, died at St. Joseph‘s General hospital here. Surviving are her husâ€" deceased woman was in her 42nd year and her death came as a sudden shock to relatives and friends. She was on her way to Montreal for a visit when taken ill and had to be removed to the hospital here. Survivjing are her husâ€" band and son, John, Capreol; her fathâ€" er, Hercule Souliere, North Bay; eight brothers, Lorenzo, Canton, Ohio; Erâ€" nest, of Huntsville; Joseph, Emmanuel, Eugene, Arthur, Rene and Hector, all of North Bay; and three sisters, Mrs. O. Racicot, Windsor; Mrs. Emile Laâ€" vigne, Timmins and Mrs. D. Moreau, North Bay. The remains will be reâ€" moved from McGuinty and Heaveners undertaking parlors to the home of J. Souliere, 43 Fourth avenue west and interment will be in the Roman Cathâ€" olic cemetery, Corbeil, on January 19." Ellison, of Nestles, Says Improving Business Leading Firm to Increase Advertising Expenditure by 100 per cent. "With the people cheered and brightâ€" ened by increased employment and wagesâ€"with increased commercial and industrial activity stirring businéss leaders to optimism and renewed couâ€" rage, I have no doubt, whatever, that the crisis has passed and that 1934 will go down in history as the recovery year‘" SISTER OF TIMMINS LADY PASSES AWAY LAST WEEK Atlanta Journalâ€"H. G. Wells says the age of insecurity will come to an end about 1990. We can hardly wait. UNCLE SAM MAY GET STOCK MARKET CONTROL The labors of the Senate Banking and Currency Committee, which spent the last year investigating Wall Street stock and banking practices, may bear fruit during the coming session of the Congress, according to Senator Duncan Fletcher (top left), the committee‘s chairman, who revealed that recommendations will be made seeking Federal regulation of the Stock Exchange. Foliowing the disclosures, which came to light under the searching inquiry of Ferdinand Pecora (top centre), counsel for the committee, who quizzed such big money men as J. P. Morgan (lower left), C. E. Mitchell (lower centre), former head of the National City Bank, and Alfred Wiggin (top right), former head of the Chase National Bank, legisâ€" lation will also be proposed to stop loopholes in the income tax laws. Advocates of Federal stock conâ€" trol cite ruling of U. 8. Supreme Court Justice Brandels (lower right) that Congress may deny use of mails to any business conducted under conditicns deemed injuricus to public welfare. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 25TH, 1934 Special General Meeting of Timmins Curling Club Resolution No. 1â€"That the resoluâ€" tion passed at a Meeting of Directors of Timmins Curling Club Limited held on November 24th, 1933, authorising the directors to write off any or all dues in suspense shown and set out in the last annual report as they see fit, be and the same is hereby approved and confirmed. Resolution No. 2â€"That the directors be and they are hereby authorized at any and all times when funds are availâ€" able, at their discretion, to buy in and return to the Treasury any share or shares of any deceased member or member moving away from Timmins or vicinity, and to pay therefor whatever amount they think proper under the circumstances. Notices have been sent out by the secretary, J. M. Belanger, calling a special general meeting of the shareâ€" holders of the Timmins Curling Club to be held in the curling rink, Timâ€" mins, at 6.30 p.m. on Feb. 2nd, when the following resolutions will be proâ€" posed : â€" LOCAL NEWSPAPERS HAVE TO BE SUPPORTED BY PEOPLE People expect to pay and think nothing cf paying for every other serâ€" vice they employ; yet they expect the newspaper to render any and every service gratuitously and leave it to "somebody else" to provide the revenue upon which the paper depends for its continued existence. Well, what is somebody elso‘s responsibility is no one‘s responsibility. But if the people want the newspaper, they must support it and there is only one way in which that can be doneâ€"by fair payment for value received, in every case. (Q@uebec Chronicleâ€"Telegraph) Before the Toronto Branch of the Canadian Institute of Miniing and Metallurgy and the Ontario Prospecâ€" tors and Developers Association, Dr. McLaughlin, consulting geologist for Homestake, traced the eariy history of this, United States largest gold mine, from the tempestuous days of the early seventies when a trcoper of General Custer‘s made a find, stopped to exâ€" amine it and thus saved himself from the famous Custer massacre. Much discussion as to the probable longevity cof Canada‘s chief mines in the preâ€"Cambrian field was excited by the address of Donald H. McLaughlin, Professor of Economic Geology at Harâ€" vard University on the geological feaâ€" tures of the Homestake Mine, the famâ€" ous gold producer in South Dakota‘s preâ€"Cambrian, which has been in proâ€" duction almost 50 years, says The Finâ€" ancial Post. of Toronto, last week. Production with an 80â€"stamp mill started in 1879 and dividends were inâ€" augurated that year. Subsequent proâ€" duction aggregated $280,000,000 while dividends paid to shareholders have totalled $66,000,000 to date. A large part of these dividends has gone to the Hearst family now headed by William Randolph the publisher â€"whose father, George Hearst, laid the basis of the family fortune by his early investment in the Homestake Mine. Grade Same as Porcupine The cre being treated is much highâ€" er in value than that mined in former years and averages between $6 and $7 per ton, about the same as the average of the Porcupine camp of Ontario. Aside from the fact that the ore occurs in the preâ€"Cambrian there is little similarity between the Homestake ore bodies and the famous producers of Ontario. Nevertheless, it is the most cutstanding example cof gold mining in the preâ€"Cambrihn on the North Ameriâ€" can continent and the fact that after nearly 50 years it is going stronger than ever is inspiring to McIntyre and Dome each of which are producing at record levels after 23 years‘ preoduction from the preâ€"Cambrian. "Observer" writing in the "Sportâ€" ology" column of The North Bay Nugâ€" get last week says:â€"*"The Northern Ontario Hockey Associaticn has agreed to issue pfayers' cards to four of Sudâ€" bury‘s new acquisitions. There only remains for the Ontario Hockey Assoâ€" ciation directorate to make it a thorâ€" ough job. There‘s only one thing puzâ€" zling in the act. The governors apâ€" proved nine cards for reference to the O.H.A. on two or three occasions and then they only consent to four playing in their own jurisdiction. It‘s reasonâ€" able to assume that had the O.H.A. issued transfers for the gang of nine th> NOH.A. would promptly have furnished the club with cards. North Bay had ns interest in Sudbury‘s cause but it‘s strange that the Nickel City club should be first denied player rights by the O.H.A. and then be restricted to four by the N.OH.A. when other clubs got everything sought." Homestake Strong After Fifty Years OBSERVER PUZZLED OVER DECISION OF THE N.O.H.A. Toronio Mining Men Hear Address on the Famous United States Producer with Grade of Ore Same as Porcupine. Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"Mr. Hepâ€" burn‘s "swing well to the left" appears to have collided with Mr. Sinclair‘s chin _ _H. J. Marshall was in Toronto last: week attending the big annual motor show in the city in connection with the | | Terraplane motors. While in the city he had a striking experience, edly meeting his brother whom he hal| net seep is yrars. An editorial in The Rouyn-Norandai Press last week says:â€""The local comâ€"| munist agitators have been at work again this week, and in both| towns a circular has been spread; around glorifying the memory of Lenin| and the conditions of the workers in Soviet Russia, and denouncing "capiâ€"| talism" and its alleged consequences in! Canada. A further onslaught is made, on the police for a "savage" attack on | the Clerion workers during the recent| strike, and in this circular a broadside| is aimed at the C. C. F., which is said to be posing as the party of the labourâ€"| ing classes but which, according to| these disciples of the Russian system, has as its purpose nothing else but to| betray the masses of workers, who are| called upon to deliver their main blOwsi against this organization, "the bulwark| of Fascism in Canada." The circulari or bulletin concludes with an appeal| to the working classes to follow the, the leadership of the communist party| along the paths taken by Lenin, Liebâ€"| knacht and Luxemburg and to defend| "the Chinese Soviets and the Soviet| Union." This is nothing more or less| than an appeal for revolution and it truly seems a strange condition of afâ€" fairs when men, many of them holdâ€"| ing down good jobs in communities where there is no unemployment, are permitted to disseminate such appeals, throughout the community. In this, connection also we were shown a printâ€" ed copy of the aims and purposes the Canadian Labor Defence League. which has been organizing in these‘ parts for some time past, and these, are right along the lines of communist ideals, while they also call for defence of Soviet Russia. There are hundred people in the twin cities conâ€"| nected with these organizations, and|! most of them are working diligently| to increase the membership and propaâ€"| gate the doctrines of the communist party. They are troubleâ€"makers, all of | them, and a menace to peace and| order and established institutions.‘ Something should be done to curb | their activities, otherwise further trouâ€" ble may be looked for locally. We would like to see a roundâ€"up of the more active of these foreigners by the immigration authorities and have an opportunity to bid them bon voyage on their departure for Russia or China or some place far removed from Rouyn and Noranda, where they would find conditions more to their liking and where, if they attempted to carry on as they do here, they would be thrown into prison or used as targets for a firâ€" ing squad. Their places here could. readily be filled by loyal Canadians who are in need of work." Pr?1 uction of Gold in December The production figures, of courss, do not take the premium into account, and therefore the real value of the yield is much greater than the official figures shcw. Production for the year 1933 was $43,728,144, compared with $46,â€" 7173,154 in 1932. The decline was due to the fact that the big mines are millâ€" ing lowâ€"grade ore that was not of comâ€" mercial value under the old standard price of gold. Slightly more Ore was milled in 1933 than in 1932, the figures being 5.614,680 tons, compared with $5,543,620. Objects to Communist Propaganda in Rouyn With a total gold production worth $3,.760.265, based on the old price of metal, December was the best month in the last half of the year 1933, acâ€" cording to a report of the Ontario Department of Mines issued this week. The figure compares with $3,587,975 in November and $3,488,362 in October but was down about $400,000 from the output in December, 1932, when $4,135,â€" 536 was produced. Ore tonnage milled in December was 496,317, also the heaviest in the last six months. December receipts of crude gold bulâ€" lion at the Royal Canadian Mint, Ottaâ€" wa, from Ontario mines contained 113,â€" 774 fine ounces of gold with a total value (statutory) of $2,360,966. Output for Last Month of 1933 was the Greatest in Year, but Under the Figure for Same Month in 1932. With the approximate premium for 1933 of $14,400,000 added, last year‘ production totals absut $58,128.000, compared with a total of $52,938,000 in 1932.
